VeloBuild VB-R-268 frame

[ZacItaly15]

Hello, i am an inexperienced builder, so i tend to panic regarding every single detail. Most of the problems i was able to workout fairly easy, but I was not able to find a fix for this one (i don't even know if this is a problem). Should there be the gap between top spacer and integrated handlebar stem? The "teeth" engaged with a hole, nothing moves or wobbles, fork is not moving, but im writing here just to make sure. Im attaching photos from both sides.

PS: I will clean the bike before going out on maiden voyage, my tomfoolery get my whole flat covered in bike grease .

I faced the same issue with the handlebar, so I decided to file just a little the spacers in order to have a perfect contact with the handlebar base

I've signed up for a (fast) gravel race with the 268, anyone who have experience with maxing out the tyre width? I'm right now running 28 mm Conti GP 5000's on the road, but they measure aaalmost 30 mm on the EliteWheels Gravel Wheels (21 mm internal) that is fitted. The frame is stated as max 32 mm, but usually the stated max is a bit conservative.
